i grew up on Naruto and i even got into bleach. this was when i was like 10 and it amazed me. on the side of One piece
the 4Kids dub ruined it for me(not hatting on it though). On to the main point of this topic .so with Naruto and Bleach almost done( its been like 6 years now WOW ) i have been thinking of the idea of when i comes to people or things being popular or famous, it does not last forever. and this is becoming more obvious with the big three (excluding One piece for the moment) this means that after these things pass for however long they live something must take their place. this got me wondering what will fill the metaphorical vacuum? that is what want to ask people of our community Crunchyroll. what do you think will fill the gap? or will it be left forever open forever? any theory or idea will do just wanted to see the opinion of other on this topic.

Hopefully overall better stories. One Piece is good, but Naruto and Bleach peaked years ago. While Bleach may be pretty good all things considered at its final arc, Naruto ran itself into the ground so hard that it drilled through the other side and kept going. I think this is just what tends to happen to most long running series. The quality suffers and degrades into an unrecognizable mess till a series you used to like a whole lot turns into a piece of absolute garbage that feels more and more like a bad fanfiction..... Sorry, my Naruto rage is coming out again... <.<'

Man, I grew upon Dragonball. What's this Big-Three people are talking about?

I was at a decent age when One Piece was brought out on the 4kids. And it wasn't THAT bad. censorship was still rather limited back then anyways. Sure sure, you didn't see Arlong shoot that mom in the gawd-damned face, greatest moment in One Piece for me. But...you still had the story.

So the best parts were cut out, I still liked the damn thing. I wasn't able to watch all of One Piece for nearly 5 years regardless so no big deal.

But yeah, I own all of Dragonball. Ain't nothing replacing Goku, AIN'T NUTHIN.

It's a shame Hunter x Hunter will likely never take one of those spots..

I expect something to pop up in a few years though.

A confirmed continuation of the manga would be nice curious to know if he ever releases a new volume, how many copies would sell... I sure hope it at least becomes a decent contender if that ever happens
